7.1.33 The Character Shift Amount

The Shift control contains a value that specifies a horizontal distance in
horizontal-resolution units. This distance is an offset that the Universal
Printer Driver uses to shift individual characters from a particular font.
It is required for fonts with characters that are not centered in the
bounding box. The Universal Printer Driver uses a negative shift value to
shift characters to the right, and a positive shift value to shift
characters to the left. Shift amounts are intended to be used when
characters do not fall in the center of the bounding box defined by font
metrics.
